4/1

Progressive colt who posted good staying-on fifth of 14 in minor event at Newcastle (10.2f) 19 days ago. This longer trip promises to suit, so he's a major contender.

4/1

Forecasts

Real Dream (4/9), Thundering (4/1), World Without Love (4/1), Two Auld Pals (25/1), Miss Velveteen (33/1), Huntsman's Call (50/1), Riffa Fort (100/1), Countess Olivia (150/1)

THUNDERING is improving as he gains in experience and, with this step up in trip a positive too, he is taken to open his account. Real Dream also has better days ahead of him though and should ensure Kevin Ryan's Night of Thunder gelding doesn't have things all his own way, while World Without Love has the form to play a part too.
